medium height bat so erect and imperious in figure and bearing that she had the effect of being tall her eye trcre dark and line her features marked with esireme regularity and the coloring afttfie face quite perfect xatare lad been ajs generous iwith her intellectual qiiisas with her phyhical ciianns and bo lot teas acenstorned to find herself a shining light in whatever assembly she happened tobe she may be excased there fore if she considered her chances above the average in any competition in which she might clioos to engage and she had determined to win the heart and hand of her brothers guest 1 early on the morning after his arrival lord glenfleroy followed by his groom rode out of the park that enclosed his fricads residence aad giving lus horse the rein galloped over the hills and through the fields with an enjoyment of the familiar exercise that made him quite forget the fact that he wa in a strange locality pausing to look around he saw a long white bridge spanning a valley through which there ran a narrow shallow stream it was evident that this stream had once been of much larger dimensions and had been nsed as tho waterpower of a mill now fallen into disuse upon the other side of the bridge a beautifully shaded carriage drive opened offering an enticing mut ation to the young horseman he turned with a nod to his senant and touched up his horse with the intention of crosoingit when his attention was attracted by the figure of a young girl sitting oj a fallen tree d intently arranging the contents of a little basket in her lap she was dressed in a cool flowing robe of ecru lawn her drooping hat had fallen off and was eus- pnded from her neck by its bright crimson ribbons and her loose tawny hair floated over her shoulders in an unbound mass of glory whether the magnetism of his gaze influenced her or whether she suddenly be- tame conscious of the pawing of the horses feet she raised her ejes and met those bent upon her with one steady full glance then suddenly sprang foward with a startled face from which fear had driven every vestige of color a stay yoa mast not cross the bridge she cried and thenseeing a look of enquiry not anmingled with a slightly sarcastic amusement she drew back with the truant carmine returning in stronger force this ever to face and throat i beg your par don sir that bridge is condemned as not safe even for footpassengers the sign board haabeen blown down by last nights gale she tamed with a slight bow and walk- eduway j ko sooner had she removed her eyes from liia lace than reginald viscount glen- deroy woa convinced of the fact that never before had hi seen such wonderf n eyes in a womans head and he contddefed himself a judge of eyes he hud been so absorbed in admiring thenr that hetiad forgotten to thank the oermwrd now hesitated a robnwattiiinklug bow be could best do so before lie had reached any conoloaon the ypmiftiadyitarnad again ahairly this time and there was certainly an angry gleam in tbdeop blue of the handsome eyea j do you uot intend to be advised she asked with just the hint of a stamp in tho soft grass the spirit of mischief always latent in gleuderoy sprang up at he sharp tone well really you know it doesnt look dangerous he said laughingly doesnt look dangerous exclaimed his wouldbe benefactor indiguantly why i tell you it has been surveyed and con demned and pronounced unsafe pray dont mistake foouiardiness for courage she added throwing back her head scorn fully all tbe same i thick i will risk it he replied amused at her vehemence and just a littk nettled he hardly knew why you shall not i forbid you to go on the bridge you forbid me i yes a 1 own these lauds bridge and all and if yoa waul- to commit suicide be good enough to ulect sonic other place than my properly the gentleman sprang from his horse pray forgive me he said i had no idea i was trespassing oil no not that the girl said hastily blushing at the idea of appearing discour teous the road is open to traffic and the bridge too when it was iu ccaition but i feared i mean i wished to prevent your becoming too venturesome thank you very much i fear you will think ldid not deserve your kinduess permit me- before wishing you good morn ing to refill your basket mary hawthorne glanced at the little basket in her hand and found that in her excitement she had emptied its coulentson grouad oh my preciuas mushrooms that i ro3 so early to fitber he cxclisufd in great concern aad kneeling down she helped him pick them up with iambic fingorrj at thii moment a distant rattling sound caught her car and she rose from the ground oh good heavens look 1 she cned in great alarm and following the direction of iter finger htr companion saw orythe opposite aside of the bridge a team ofjjrses drawing an enormous wagonload of cricks the driver was shaatiug waring hsarms and otherwise behaving iu a wildly hilar ious manner fary hawthorne darted away like a l bat glendcrov detained her stp hccritxl iiivratitly i will call to him 3 and putting his twu land- to his mouth he sltoato a ringing wdrnmg to the man its no us sail hiss hawthorne he hiovs the danger but he has been drinking pikc let me go its one of oar mei jerry mcalpinc i lave influence with him and springing away she ran towanls tht bridge gltudcroy followed ut once but it was too late icfcre either had reached the bridge the madman had driven his team furiously un to the crazy structure and just as gleuderoy forcibly drew the im- pstaoas girl back the bridge parted and with iu unhappy burden fell one crashing tottering uum of destruction into the yawning gulf below man hawthorne give a piercing scream and champing her hands over her eyes droppi in a dead swoon into ixird gleade- rxntarms miss hawthorne hid been left in possess ion of the rosimary dale brickfields by her grandmother the eccentric and strong- minded widow of the original owner the young lady vas accused too of ha viog in herited a very large stock ot that same eccentricity and peculiarity of condnct that had made her relative celebrated as quite a character in the place she certainly felt an ahsurliag interest in the work and also the workers from which she derived the almost princely revenue that made her the chief heires of he lieighborbood- jfary hawthorne was the belle of eoe- mary dale and she was the only rival that caused kiss koss a moments serious ap prehensions iu the project now in hairl deeply cliagrined then was that wig lady when she learned that lord glenderoy had already met ifiss hawthorne ander rather interesting circumstances i hear you encountered a wood nymph oa vour early morning ride loo said with a sruilc lo glenderoy on the morning of tbe accident making no reference to the tragidv i warn you against them in canada they are dangtous and this was one of the most danger ous kind i should think he anstered laughing yoa admire iftss hawthorne then slie asked t she is a bnck of a girl v lord-gieude- roy said with a genuine schoolboy fervor loo gave a merry peal of laughter you must uot let act hear you say that she said i why not t oh because she would take it us a facetious reference to their trade the hawthorues you know made all their wealth out of their brickfields and with he petty pride of the real paryenn would like to hide the source from which their prosperity flowf the old lady ifiss haw thornes gwu j mother was not so she had too much strength of character for that miss hawthorne and i are good friends bat i would like her better if she were less of a coquette j- being an engaged girl yoa know she should not be quite so indepen dent is she then engaged to be marriadv asked lcrd gleuderoy startled with a uvhf recollect ion of those dazzling violet eves- and the waxen darkly fringed lids that had closed over them while he held the fain ling girl in his arms oh yei indeedj answered loo her jiaiih is away in the northwest with a sur veying party bat is expected to return at co distant sate but really lord glende- itoy i must have been boring you- beyond measure with local gossip there is ken neth an the lawn waiting for yoa pray dont let him tire you with his excessive activity luncheon will be ready in an houri ai dj bestowing one of her sweetest smiles an j loos smiles becanso rare were considered tiresistible she left her companion well pleased with her part in the con versa ti on t it was at one ofmisa- bosss charming kettledrums that lord glenderoy was formally in t reduced to the young lady whoso acquaintance be hod made so un- oeremonioosly she acknowledged tfce ialrodnction with a smijiug groce hut 4re vas a certain il rri iiij u reservfi atoncehy eb iigninwlrich was meant to counteraof 1 dom might be inscribed to tbeir las meet j thibjrlw no paryenu tbougutihe young nobleman taking note of the easy elegance that marked her every action ajid indeed mary hawthorne bore the un mistakable stamp of good birth and breed ing iu appearance she was lovely fresh and graceful as a flower while her manner though unrestrained gracious nd gleeful as a childs was always refined gracious and full of happy fact she ia the only girl in uie room that treats me like a fellowbeing mesed glenderoy with a scornful smile the others are pleased to consider me of a differ ent species and thinking he would have certainly made hid preference noticeable had it not been for the ancr in the northwest the young viscounts visit was drawing to a close his reluctance lo leae his friends could no longer be hidden from himself tho he made several attempts a selfdeception he was in love deeply and irretrieivably in love withifary hawthorne loo koss ever watchful was aware of the fact and sh had also discovered that his affection was ardently returned by its ob ject jfiss 10s3 understood the difficulties in her path but determined more that ever to overcome them he shall return to england as my be trothed husband she muttered between clenched teeth oh if i really loved him how 1 should hate her a little piece of waste paper fell into the hands of miss ross which materially aided her in her plan of deception upon finding it she immediately made an informal call upon mary hawthorne you will be sure to come to mjirth- day fetetiext week she said slipping her arm through marys as they strolled through the garden it will be oar ust party befort lord glenderoy leaves us and i think the last birthday i shall celebrate at home and loo allowed a pretty little smile to play around her mouth as she toyed with iier sunshade why loo are we going 0 lose jou i am surprised and who is the thrice- happy man oh need you ask said loo with a little laugh i hive been hard to please but lord glenderoy furnishes all requis ites lord glenderoy mary- hawthorne gasped he words then tid no more miss hosf look no notice of the exclama tion nor of the marble pallor cf her vic tims face see she said he

her to reply she did so presently in a voice that was quite steady if rather faint i wish you every happiness loo nd im sure you will have it lord glenderoy could not fail to make the woman he lovci happy miss ross wiced at the words i must go now she said turning quickly remember what i have told you is yet a secret shared by yoa alone goodbye dear and dropping a kiss on pale cbeek of the girl she had wounded to the heart miss ross disappeared among the trees im safe now she mannurpd he cannot make love to her thinking she i engaged to another and slfe will treat hhn coldly believing him betrothed tg me with matters so arranged it wiu if i cannot win hmi fate however iiiercsed for the lovers and miss rosss plans fell like a house of cards upon the baine af ternoou that lord g leu- deroy returned to rosemary dale man- hawthorne iwent trtisit a sick child having stayed later than she thoaght she was startled into haste by distant uiunder and darkening clouds hoping to reach home before the storm should come she 00k a short path through the woods even- step of which she knew as well as her own garden she had not gone far when he thunder grew louder and the lightning vivid and dangerous no rain falling hurry ing along mack frightened she came face to face with g lenderay why miss hawthorne he cried in surprise alone and unattended in this storm pray permit me to take you home oh thank you she said gratefully im so glad to have me yoai mean i would welcome any ouc in this storm for i am horribly afraid of thunder aad light ning so much afraid thai even i would be better than no companion miss hawthorne laughed a little uervous- h- ihardlymeaut anything so rude she siid then hurriedly went on i have been spending the afternoon with mrs mc- ai pine the widow of the poor man who was killed on the bridge you know her little boy is very ill oh dear this last exclamation was caused by a blinding flash of lightning which ran throagh the black clouds in a long chain followed by a peal of thunder that seemed to rend the yerv earth beneath their feet mary snatched her iumd from his arm and bank kown in a paroxysm of terror and as she did so the large tree by which they stood fell crashing to the ground a few feet distant from her lord glenderoy caaght her in his arms mv darling are you hart mary dearest love speak to me he cried passion ately i love you so dearly that i most tell yon of my devotion i cannot realize that you belong to another 1 that i belong to another said mary disengaging herself from his arms yes yes i have known of your en

bobs may have been mistaken about me lut she could hardly be so in her own case she told me of her engagement to yourself and showed me your letter can you explainthat what letter i never wrote a lino ho hiss ross in my life therjp was no mis- taking thej genuine bewilderment of tbe oung man face aiyl mary much p6r plexed told him word for word for they were ever in her mind what loo ross had shown
